Chapter 282: Rumors Spread

(Thank you for your support in the sky, headache, james242, Nanyang fire, especially for your strong support that headache is not good, thank you!) )――

After the snow, the first sunshine, the world is full of pink makeup and jade, bright color, Yang Guang's Wang driving team also re-entered the road, under the guidance of Wang Qi, the convoy slowly drove out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and continued to march towards the Guanzhong. Yi Feng stood on the tower of the Tiger Prison Gate, his gaze far away.

Yi Feng, who had been secretly discussing with Yang Guang for many days, did not continue to follow Yang Guang. After seeing Yang Guang's car drive away, Yi Feng retracted his gaze and turned around to go down to the city tower: "Let's go back to Xingyang!" ”

Although the team escorting a large number of war horses to pay tribute was still north of the Yellow River, the Guards Regiment carrying the banner of the Wuzhou Governor had just crossed the Yellow River and was heading towards Xingyang. Yi Feng had already finished the meeting with Yang Guang, and rushed back to Xingyang to meet the team.

In the afternoon of the same day, eight hundred guards entered Xingyang with Yi Feng's general general flag, and Yi Feng brought the flag guards to join him.

In the former Xingyang County, now Xingyang County, the officials in the city, as well as all the powerful and wealthy businessmen, came to greet them. For this rising political star Yi Feng at the end of the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Xingyang City did not dare to take it lightly, especially Yi Feng is not only a great general, but also a real prince of the emperor's grandson, this is a real dragon crossing the river. Especially when they saw that Yi Feng actually brought eight hundred armed and majestic cavalry guards, they didn't dare to take it lightly. Yi Feng's guard cavalry. Its frame majesty is even more majestic than His Royal Highness King Jin, the chief administrator of Yangzhou who just passed here a few days ago. Many people want to take the opportunity to see if they can catch this imperial grandson. The officials wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of the line of Emperor Yi and catch the crown prince's boat. In the future, Bo will be a better step forward. But more of Xingyang's wealthy businessmen value this manager Yi more as a god of wealth. Who doesn't know that the local tyrants in the eastern states such as the Shan family, the Xu family, and the Wang family in Henan are because they got on the ship of this Yi Huangsun early, and now they have already made a lot of money, and even won a lot of official positions for the children of the family, whether it is a fortune or a promotion, this is enough to make them envious. To know. Just two years ago, when the son of today issued a special edict, proclaiming that merchants, craftsmen and their children were not allowed to hold official positions above the ninth grade. This edict was for those craftsmen and merchants. It was a huge blow. Especially for the wealthy merchants in the local area, this edict deprived them of many protections, and they became fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the pen.

Seeing that the Xu, Shan and other families have caught up with Emperor Yi's grandson, not only is the business bigger now. And they also succeeded in winning the official position. successfully broke through the emperor's ban, and there is no need to worry about people being famous and pigs being afraid of being strong.

Of course, not all of the people who greeted them were so welcoming. Among the crowd, the Zheng family, the largest family in Xingyang, which was once the top wealthy family in the Kanto region, and is still a big wealthy family that is still much more powerful, no head of the family came. The head of the Zheng family excused himself and only sent a side branch to come. That attitude is very obvious, they don't want to shoot Yi Feng's sycophants.

This result puzzled many people in Xingyang, and they all knew that the Zheng family had been able to maintain this power all these years because they had taken refuge in the side of the crown prince Yang Yong early. Now that the prince's sister-in-law Yi Feng is passing by, the Zheng family should have worked harder, but why is it so cold?

"It seems that the Zheng family still remembers the fact that they robbed their family's underground armory workshop when they went north." Wei Zheng smiled beside Yi Feng.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Yi Feng had also noticed the Zheng family's cold reaction to his arrival. When he returned north to Yanshan, the Black Iron Guard intercepted and assassinated, and Yi Feng was angry, so he directly attacked the underground armory workshop in the valley on the outskirts of Xingyang, which was actually owned by the prince under the Zheng family's name, and washed the armory workshop, and took away all the craftsmen when he left. Wei Chigong was the little blacksmith that Yi Feng accepted there at that time. However, the Zheng family should not know that Yi Feng's true identity is not the son of the prince but the son of the king of Jin, but if the Zheng family does not know about this relationship, but now they still react so coldly, then from the side, they must have also received some behind-the-scenes guidance, and this guidance can only come from the East Palace. Otherwise, where did the Zheng family dare to offend the master's son-in-law? Yi Feng sneered in his heart, it seemed that the information transmitted from Chang'an was not comprehensive enough. Now it is rumored that the Empress of Heaven and the crown prince are extremely looking forward to returning to Beijing for the eldest grandson of the emperor who has been lost for many years, but now through this simple thing, Yi Feng has become more determined, and the prince will definitely not really forget his previous grievances.

"The Zheng family is so daring, how dare they be so rude, let a certain brother lead the team to the Zheng family to personally greet the head of the Zheng family for the handsome, to see if he is really sick and dying." Wei Chigong said loudly, as if he deliberately wanted to hear all the Xingyang people who greeted him at the city gate. He was originally a blacksmith in Yanbei, but he was sent to the workshop in Xingyang to work hard, which was almost equivalent to being imprisoned. Although he already knew that it was actually the people of the East Palace who were behind the scenes, he still had no feelings for the Zheng family. He wished he could have the opportunity to go to Zheng's house in person to get out of the original bird's breath.

Yi Feng smiled: "The Zheng family is famous in the world, Zheng Langjun is sick, I should have personally visited the house, but I was tired all the way, and it was not suitable to visit the door with dust." Jingde, you are my righteous son and protégé, and you still have some relationship with the Zheng family in the past, you take a team of brothers, prepare more gifts, and go to the Zheng family to visit the old man Zheng on my behalf. Remember, don't be rude. ”

Although what Yi Feng said in his mouth was not rude, but the Xingyang people in front of the city gate heard that they were already full of chill to the bone, and even killing intent. Many Xingyang families, who were originally directly suppressed by the Zheng family, couldn't help but gloat in their hearts at this time. The Zheng family has been a big family for hundreds of years, and it is dominating Xingyang, and in the past, no family could live by looking at the Zheng family's eyes. Now, at last, they have met someone who can cure them.

Lao Hei got Yi Feng's approval, grinned, smiled very proudly, and waved his big hand: "Go!" ”

When he boarded, a team of fifty cavalry horses rushed straight into the city with the sound of horses' hooves, heading towards the Zheng Mansion. As for what Yi Feng said just now, he didn't bring any gifts, only their swords, guns, swords, and halberds. The children of the Zheng family who stood in the greeting procession had all white faces at this time, standing there, trembling all over, and they didn't come out to speak, and they didn't dare to leave and rush back to report the news, so they were in a dilemma.

Yi Feng didn't mean to embarrass them in the slightest, so let Wei Chigong go to the Zheng family to make it a little difficult to show his attitude. What about the Zheng family, Yi Feng didn't have that idea, and he wouldn't be so reckless, after all, the Zheng family is not as good as before, but it is still the top wealthy family in Kanto, especially the marriage with the major families in Kanto and even the major upstarts in Guanlong, the traces are complicated, intertwined, and widely implicated, Yi Feng has done it, and then things will not be so simple. It's just that if it's at a small level, it doesn't matter.

After entering the city, after a cold noise with Xingyang, he sent those people away, and before he could calm down, Wei Zheng came in with a letter.

"A secret letter from the Jingshi."

The letter was opened, Yi Feng read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning, it was not good news.

He has not yet arrived in Beijing, but someone has already impeached him.

The people who impeached him in the last book have the Imperial Historical Observatory, but not all, as if suddenly, in the city of Daxing, the capital division, his imperial grandson, who is about to enter Beijing, suddenly became eye-catching again, but this time it was not a good thing. The streets and alleys of Jingshi are spreading gossip about Yi Feng everywhere, and there are all kinds of them. But the vast majority of it is not good news, it is more of some rumors. Some people even deliberately exposed Yi Feng's experience in the green forests of Yanshan, and also fabricated how Yi Feng burned, killed, looted, raped and killed, in short, he was a murderous bandit who did all kinds of evil and was full of evil habits. There are also rumors that Yi Feng set up a private market in Huaihuang, manipulated smuggling behind the scenes, resold and smuggled contraband materials, and sold iron, ordnance, and grain to the Hu people. There are even rumors that Yi Feng once followed the Yanshan thieves to join the Turks, and followed the Turks to raid the Great Sui border.

Some people dug up the identities of Murong Rose and Gao Qianxue, saying that Qianxue was a remnant of the Northern Qi Dynasty, a princess of the dead country, who had been plotting for restoration, etc., and had been colluding with Goguryeo. And Rose is the female leader of the ferocious horse thief Yanshan Thief who took refuge in the Turks, in those rumors, Qianxue is a white-haired witch, and Rose is a red-haired witch, Yi Feng married these two witches, and is also an evil maniac who likes to eat human flesh.

These rumors spread throughout the capital overnight, and there was a tendency to spread to other places.

As soon as these rumors appeared, many low-ranking officials in the capital immediately jumped out and began to impeach Yi Feng one after another, impeaching him for smuggling, plotting rebellion, colluding with the Goguryeo people, colluding with the Turks, deliberately creating wars on the border, stirring up incidents, privately manufacturing ordnance and armor, wantonly training soldiers and horses, hoarding grain and grass, and so on.

"Dashuai, this is obviously someone secretly manipulating and wanting to ruin Dashuai's reputation." Wei Zhengdao.

"Is it the crown prince or the king of Han?" Xu Deyan asked.

"It's all possible, but the most likely is Yang Liang, we just repelled the Black Wind Thief he sent, and I guess we can't sit still." Yi Feng thought for a moment. "But this is also expected, but don't worry too much, our entry into Beijing this time will definitely not be smooth sailing. But as long as it can be recognized in front of the Son of Heaven, then this qiē is nothing. ”

Rumors stop at the wise, but they will stop at the Son of Heaven. As long as the Son of Heaven speaks, who will dare to spread it? Yi Feng looked very relaxed on the surface, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, rumors were flying all over the sky, but why didn't the Son of Heaven react? Even those officials impeached him last time, and there has been no reply from the palace until now.

What are you waiting for? (To be continued......)
